Nursery contributed plant descriptions

It’s the smoky purple foliage on this baby! 6-8” tall perennial clumps are 12” wide and contrast well with just about any color of foliage or flower. Bright rose star flowers in flattish clusters late summer pump it up a notch…full sun, well drained soil, great in pots, hold the fertilizer. Tough, easy and long lived.
